Synthes DHS/DCS One Step Basic Set

The Synthes Dynamic Hip System (DHS) offers a variety of treatment options depending on the fracture site and the patient.

Fixation elements

DHS Screw:
The well-proven standard for proximal femur fractures.
– Stainless steel / TiAl6Nb7 (TAN)
– Length 50 – 145 mm
– Outer diameter 12.5 mm
– Coupling: two flats or octagonal

DHS Blade:
The DHS Blade is mainly indicated for osteoporotic patients.
It reduces the risk of cut-out compared to the standard DHS
Screw.
– Stainless steel / TAN
– Length 65 – 145 mm
– Outer diameter 12.5 mm

DHS Emergency Screw:
Indicated for revisions in young patients.
– Stainless steel
– Length 50 – 145 mm
– Outer diameter 14 mm

DHS plate with DCP holes:
Used for more than 25 years.
– Stainless steel / TAN
– Barrel angle 130° – 150°
– 2 to 20 holes
– Barrel length: 25 and 38 mm
– Thickness 5.8 mm
– Fixation with cortex screws  4.5 mm

LCP DHS plate:
Better fixation on the shaft allows for minimally invasive
approach.
– LCP combi-holes
– Tapered end
– Undercuts
– Barrel angle 130° – 150°
– 1 to 20 holes
– Barrel length: 25 and 38 mm
– Thickness 5.8 mm
– Fixation with locking screws  5.0 mm, cortex screws 4.5 mm or a combination of both

DHS Trochanter Stabilizing Plate:
All DHS Trochanter Stabilizing Plates can be used with theconventional DHS or the LCP DHS plate.

Conventional DHS Trochanter Stabilizing Plate (TSP)
– Lateral support
– Prevents unlimited dynamization
– Allows for the fixation of the upper trochanter

with cerclage:
– Stainless steel or titanium
– Two lengths: short (138 mm) and long (148 mm)

Locking Trochanter Stabilizing Plate (LTSP):
– Easy to adapt to the anatomical condition
– Fixation of the upper trochanter with locking screws
– Lateral support
– Prevents unlimited dynamization
– Stainless steel or titanium
– Length 130 mm

DCS plate:
– With DCP holes
– Stainless steel or TAN
– 6 to 22 holes
– Barrel length: 25 mm
– Thickness: 5.4 mm
– Width: 16 mm
– Fixation with cortex screws 4.5 mm

DHS/DCS Compression Screw:
Used together with the DHS and DCS plates to compress the femoral fragments on the proximal and distal sides of the
fracture.
– Stainless steel or TAN
– Inner hexagon for Hexagonal Screwdriver
(314.120 and 314.270)
– Length 36 mm

DHS/DCS Locking Device:
Used for locking the sliding mechanism of the DHS Screw or the DHS Blade.
– Stainless steel or TAN
– Inner hexagon for Torque-indicating Screwdriver (338.560)
– Length 35 mm
